appropriate tiller for MT372

[skylarkguy]

Hello, I have a line on a Kabota tiller, model FL1021c at a good price (a hand me down from bro-in-law). Will my MT372 be enough tractor to run this well? I'll be re-tilling current garden space as well as fresh ground for new garden space. The ground here is high clay content and can be pretty tough. Thoughts!

How wide is the tiller? You should be ok up to 4 ft.

I would imagine that the tiller will be pretty well matched, but that you will want some front weight(s) if you don't have anything up front now. If your ground is clay and hard, you may want to use box blade with rippers or a subsoiler or something to break up the dirt a little before running the tiller over it. With something around 12 PTO horsepower, your tractor will need to go slow when you're working, but you'll be able to get it done.

Thanks guys...the tilling width is 40 inches, so I think I'll give it a shot. Can I tell my wife that I now i really need a box blade too?
